The NVIDIA RTX 4080 has a problem: No one is buying it -- or at least, not enough people that board partners are feeling relief from their investment. They're on the hook for millions upon millions of dollars in inventory, and it's because NVIDIA's pricing structure is so egregiously bad that sales have finally slowed. NVIDIA got comfortable with a market where literally anything would sell, no exaggeration, and just existing would guarantee a sale. But that market is over, and now NVIDIA has an RTX 4080 problem. The other issue is that MSRP cards don't exist -- partners launched some, then stopped stocking them.

No they haven't. No one is discussing this but no one is seeing their end game agenda: Geforce Now. They are raising the price in order to push customers to rent their computers or graphic cards. Why? It is much much more profitable and you control the customers in every single way.

Sony and Microsoft must love this move by Nvidia because they're keeping consoles VERY relevant to the budget conscious gamer.

@TGS u acting like PC dont have new full priced releases and in game purchases lmao. Literally most of steam top 10 games is microtransaction/season pass operated lol. Consoles got game discounts too either digital or physical and with pricing just as competitive as steam. The bad thing about consoles is the online sub but console users probably ok cause they get monthly games compared to buying new games on PC. Both sides got their pros.

TGS Aylar önce

Console is cheaper if you only play 1 game. If you only play CoD every year then it's much cheaper to play on Xbox/PS5. But paying for the online subscription, the cost of games, and the in-game store purchases over years generally add up to the price of a PC with the exception of very high end PCs. A console will never be as expensive as someone running a brand new I9 with a RTX 4090 lol.

I speced a computer with all the latest components, nothing extreme but on the high end of what was available capable of VR with acceptable performance. The price flawed me, it was about $10,000 AUD, to put that in perspective I could get a used BMW X5, Mitsubishi Lancer, or D-Max Ute for that price. NVIDIA is going to get a hard awakening when they realise that crypto is on it's way out, inflation gets worse and worse by the month, and people have still not recovered from "The crisis" especially here in Australia where the reaction to the coof was totalitarian to say the least, alot of people lost their jobs, lost hours at work, money is tighter than ever and of all the things to go first, a $2200 graphics card is it. At this point I am just going to stick to my 1080 and play older games until it dies, then take a break from gaming entirely, it was fun while it lasted but if it's the choice between pay rent and eat vs play some video games the choice is obvious.

"Scalping" is what the economically illiterate call the obvious outcome of the market price of a good or service exceeding the sale price. The 4080 is a case of the opposite, where a good or service is not purchased en masse because the sale price exceeds the market price.

@Nico Melia according to steam, the most common gpu in use are the 1650 and 1060. Getting a 4090 is overkill for gaming.

@Daddys Savage 1080p 6 years ago was like the 4K today. I’m sure once the 6000 series come out 4k will be the norm and 1440p will be the budget option. So yea I think the 4090 is a safe card for the next 5 years; but as for all pc parts the value depreciates every year as more tech gets introduced in the market. I assume with how nvidia is approaching with the increased prices the 4090 will prob sell for 500-800 in 5 years time as it’ll still serve as a card that can bring 90-110 fps at 4k ultra

Seeing that 4080 go in the trash hit me hard bro. LOL. Nice to see and hear that GPU prices are finally coming back to reality! Another thing that I think a lot of consumers realized during the ridiculous high prices is that you don't "need" a new GPU every couple of years. Hopefully prices tank and pc building has a resurgence.

@s c For sure. I can't help but wonder if we're not also trapped in the cycle of the law of diminishing returns. Everyone is looking for photo realism in graphics, but that is a moveable feast, and an incredibly high computational overhead. Until energy is free, anyhow. I realised looking at some older games I played, and loved, they now look terrible. But all that has changed is my subjective assessment. Until graphics are literally indistinguishable from real life, someone won't be happy. Perhaps an entirely new tech is needed. Like AI manipulating actual models. Who knows, it's going to take a lot of silicon.

Which really translates to... Nvidia saw people paying stupid amounts of money for cards that were difficult to get so Nvidia made cards harder to get and jacked up prices to take all that profit for themselves. Or, in other words, screw Nvidia products. No idea why people support this type of behavior by actually purchasing this crap. "But I gotz to have most fasterest!!!" or possibly, " but the driverz."

In mid 2021 I had a friend sell me a MSI Suprim X 3080 that he bought from Microcenter, for the same price he paid. Was $1200 but still felt like a huge score when at the time ANY 3080 was scalping for double that. It runs everything I throw at it, and at this point I agree with everyone here. Hoping to keep this for a long time and that by the time I need to upgrade nVidia will have come to terms with reality.

I’ve been a 70 line user since the 970, as it has always fit the right balance of price to performance for me within my budget. The XX70 was supposed to be the affordable midrange sitting around the price of a console, but based on this trend, the 4070 will likely launch at 700 USD, which is unreasonable and prices me out of the 70 line I’ve been using for almost a decade.

Steve, the table at 6:22 should add a column to indicate the manufacturer process node. Cost per area increases as node shrinks. You can even find out some numbers on the internet how much TSMC charges per wafer for each node. As you said in the video, hard to tell how Nvidia pay for each wafer, but the discount is comparable among different process nodes.

@Stefan L bro by no means can I afford the next bleeding edge tech, I'm into more affordable budget friendly mid-tier to upper-mid-tier tech, and thats only because I'm tech savvy enough to understand the differences between a PC and a Console. the reality is the average consumer doesn't give a shit about the differences between a 4090 vs a fuarking 1080ti dude. This is why people buy consoles still, people just want to hop in a place games at a reasonable price. It's not about being on the edge of tech, it's about the general population, which is what? 80% of the planet? maybe even 90%? People are still using 10 series cards, me included. I COULD buy a 3060, but why would I? when my 1070 is doing everything I need/want. EVEN THEN, the 1070 (a fucking 7 year old card) is still going for OVER 250 dollars on the market. That's absolutely ridiculous man, the issue isn't poor people, the issue is the market is fucked

I like how this is non-conspiracy style planned obsolescence because you can literally look up the physical limits the product is approaching and see how much potential it has for improvement vs profit over time but it’s unlikely to be taught in school because people are so used to syndicate style planned obsolescence (just inflation and price fixing) it would seem like a tech oriented vocabulary word; Which it is just one necessary to understand the cost of modern products with microchips.

I recently upgraded to a 3080 10gb from a 3060 12gb and it was a very good upgrade. I got it for $575 used and it wasn’t used for mining either which was a plus. I also game at 1080p and the 3080 is way more than enough for that resolution. I know it might sound like an overkill but I’m considering buying a 1440p 240hz monitor soon.

@Just Joe It's most popular because it's affordable. Only reason to be buying a higher end graphics card and still gaming at 1080P, is if you are a pro gamer who cares more about getting every last frame they can rather than how the game looks. As soon as I could afford to jump up to a 1440p monitor at a larger size than the 1080 Samsung screen I used while on a budget, I grabbed one. Same reason I haven't jumped to 4k yet, the monitors are more expensive (especially for one that is good for gaming) and you need to spend even more on a graphics card or turn down graphics settings to run many games at 4k which I feel defeats the purpose of jumping up to 4k in the first place.

The analysis is cool, thank you for the in depth presentation! You might augment the price / mm^2 table with the fab cost per mm^2 (if that's possible). So like price / (mm^2 * fab_cost_per_sq_mm). Of course it's probably hard or impossible to get that number...but would give you a unit-less measure that works even between cards.

When considering the various AIB models, I actually think the 4080 served the role as a decoy product quite well. The price difference from a mid tier 4080 to a cheap 4090 was more like 15-20%,and considering the performance difference, it did make the 4090 look like a good deal (relatively speaking) in my opinion. I don't know if it's the same in the US though.

With how Nvidia has been recently, I honestly feel bad for the board partners having to deal with them. EVGA made the right decision in regards to Nvidia. Definitely agree with waiting on buying a card if you're going cheaper than 4090. If Nvidia drops the price of the 4080, you can get a cheaper 4080. If they don't, you can wait for the 7900XTX to come back in stock.

In Australia 4080 is around $2500 and 4090 $3000. At local PC shop on Monday they had dozens of them on display on shelves on every wall in the foyer where you pickup your parts, maybe $50,000 worth?

I’m glad I went to a 3070 Ti. I snagged one in a heavily discounted Lenovo prebuild and with a small overclock it’s giving me more or less 3080 levels of performance. I’m going to sit tight for a few years and see how this all plays out.

After watching the video you did with kingpen. I'm glad you are bringing this to light. The rtx 4080 should cost $600 dollars and the 4090 should be around $850. Before the pandemic the 3090 was a sure best bet. The prices were not that bad.The scalpers ruined it all then made Nvidia feel like they have the upper hand. The quality to price ratio is not good at all.

I live in Germany and just bought a 4080 at mindfactory for 1350€ so the Prices went down below original asking Price here.The 4090 goes for a min of 2000€ so it went up. And the 7900 XTX has the same Price with a min of 1350€ and is quite rare so ... I bought a 4080 because i had bad experiences with my old Amd setup.

Looking back the RTX 3080 had a pretty good MSRP(£670) not that anyone other than scalpers and a fortunate few got them at that price. £900-1000 seemed to be the average price for a 3080,even from retail stores.

@Dawie Nel I have an ultrawide - 3840x1600. I think(?) it does 120Hz, but I don't remember for sure. It's not something I'm really interested in, so I never paid much attention to the refresh rate specs. I'm OK with 24fps film, 30fps RPGs, and 60fps action games. I'm not even that hung up on resolution. If it's 1080p or equivalent (depending on aspect ratio) then I'm fine. I mainly got the high-res UW screen for productivity stuff. WFH, coding, PCB/schematic design .. the stuff where the more space, the better. I enjoy gaming, but I'm not that fussy about chasing performance, usually. I have consoles going back to the Famicom, and retro PCs back to the IBM PC (like, 4.77MHz), and enjoy them for what they are. The desire for RT is a bit different. IMO, it's the most groundbreaking evolution of graphics technology since real-time 3D. I've been chasing it since the mid 90s, when it took a whole 24-hour day to render a ray-traced 640x480 TGA file. We're at the early days, where it's juuuust starting to be feasible. Like the equivalent to the Voodoo 1, where ... technically ... it's better than software 3D, but the performance might actually be better without. Same for RT now. It looks really nice, and you're going to sacrifice performance for it. If you wanted the highest frame rate, you should turn it off. But I'm here for it for the sake of it, and just want the best experience I can get without going _too_ overboard with the cost. (Understanding it's an early-adopter period where going overboard with cost is sort of just the way it goes.)

Dawie Nel 3 aylar önce

@Nick Wallette Do you by any chance have a high refresh rate screen? Also what GPU are you currently using? If you want an all round best in class experience I can only recommend the RTX 4090, still for my personal FPS and resolution needs not even the 4090 is good enough w.r.t RT performance, (far from it) So I play 4k 130+ FPS using DLDSR. On the latest games I have to turn down quite a bit of quality settings to get to my target FPS of 120+ (100+ FPS minimum or I generally tend to skip the game all together) on my RTX3080Ti/5800X3D PC. Its quite sad to see the 4090 hit 40 FPS with RT at 4k. yes you can use DLSS, but I've personally found that it doesn't quite remove the hit of RT especially on 1% low performance. So if you have not experienced 4k 130FPS before on a 144Hz+ screen then I would seriously argue that its much better than a 60-90 FPS with RT and DLSS.

It's always easier to adjust a price from top to bottom than the other way around. Nvidia saw that people are buying these cards for these prices and did not want to leave the revenue for retailers (and scalpers). I understand that and they managend that and now can dial in the pricing.

ShouriSeifuku 2 aylar önce

It's so obvious, but people don't realize this because they don't look at it from a sales perspective. This gives Nvidia more room to play with the price in the future, but it also has forced people to reconsider previous gen inventory. And this is all strategic. Force them to buy old stock to deplete it, once that goes down, bring the price of the new gen down. People are so shortsighted. They don't realize plays happen strategically with a long term goal. Also, the days of sub 1k xx80 series are over. Nvidia has a lot of room between previous gen and this gen to create new product lines to fill price gaps. xx70s will reign under the $1k price point. At the end of the day all of these people bitching and whining will ultimately buy a new gen card, whatever company it is. This is the MO for every new product. Everyone complains, but then silently goes and buys the product behind closed doors. Just do whatever the fuck you want with your money, that's what I say.

Im on the Geforce advisory panel and the last survey of the year they asked if I was planning on upgrading my video card and I told them no because unlike the 30 series card where I was getting price gouged by scalpers on ebay to get a card so I stuck with my 2080 (non-ti) but now Im getting price gouged by the manufacturer instead! It had zero effect on their mentality... sorry I did all I could. (edit) I just checked... you can get a 3090 on newegg for $1400 new. $1000 for a refurbished one.

I find it interesting they are using different masks for the 4070,4080, and 4090. In the 3000 series it was the same mask for 3080\3090. The 2000 series was somewhat similar except the 2080Ti What is the AD103? What was it supposed to be? Why would they feel the need to build it instead of harvesting AD102 chips? One thing I would also like to mention is die size is part of the cost. But there is also engineering, testing, and the complexity of the design and yield. There is a fixed cost of the platter but the cost per die varies depending on how many pass test. Over time engineering will fix manufacturing issues to increase yield and reduce cost per die. But it isnt always as simple as looking at the die size to determine the cost of the chip.

Daniel Oberhofer 2 aylar önce

NVidias segmentation actually makes sense, if you accept the premise that they will do everything possible to make the most money they can per mm² of silicon produced. And that shouldn't come as a surprise, either - they're practically legally obliged to do so, lest they really want trouble with their shareholders. AD102 is the most expensive die they're having made - and it's cut down quite agressively for the 4090. Why? Because it doesn't need to be better, there's no competing product, anyway. So, the 4090's die is already salvage to some extend, and everything that's better can go into RTX 6000 accelerators, earning them *way more* money. Had Navi31 turned out better, they could've responded with a 4090ti with faster memory and more enabled SMs - or even cut prices - but they just don't need to. AD103 is just cost control - less area means better yields, but at this level it's not working out as well, because customers aren't willing to get scalped... who woulda thunk. AD104 is just more of the same - and luckily it seems that the 4070ti's launch went even worse than the 4080's. Whether nVidia learns from this - rather: Even has to learn from this - depends on the mobile and datacenter market in H1/2023. If they can just dump the massive supply they pre-ordered from TSMC into these channels, they won't even have to react to having these cards sitting on shelves, collecting dust. That's the AIB's and retailer's problem. It will only become nVidia's problem, when they themselves begin to ramp up inventory of smaller Lovelace dies (everything below AD102), but can't shift production to AD102 for whatever reason (fab restrictions / demand / inventory / whatever). That's when they *really* need to adjust pricing to get units moving. Until then - we've seen with EVGA that they don't give a flying f*ck about their board partners.

I literally just bought a 3060 Ti at MSRP. It is easily twice as much card as I really need. I’ve never gone for the top of the line or the newest generation cards. They have ALWAYS been overpriced, and I’ve been building my own PCs for decades. I consider my 3060 a splurge too. I looked at older cards, but the one I got was really about the best value I saw. Resale on older cards is still stupidly high. I expect my card will last me a long time too…my GTX 460 lasted forever. I don’t play at 4k, and anything over 40fps (for me) is overkill. And the gameplay experience is still beautiful and smooth. I’ve never cared if I had the fastest card or system out there. That’s irrelevant to me. I just want to be able to happily play the games I enjoy. Bragging rights are overpriced.

I think Nvidia also doesn't realize this cycle isn't as "Needed" where as the class of graphics cards that launches around console launch will always be more desirable because if you want to be able to play the newest games you need to keep up with console generations.

As a casual onlooker of the GPU market, and someone who has only ever bought one card--not knowing the difference between the partner cards and how the price difference is justified--I would say it's easy for Nvidea to hide behind the price and obfuscate the value one gets for their lower tier cards. I feel your coverage is very critical here and though I follow I would say a person like me gets value but could easily fall short on value given all the variables. Also though I've never followed this partner stuff or extreme over-clocking the Evga coverage was awesome too see (a now) outsider talking about how engineering drives product performance in a somewhat obscure area that semi-casual users can participate in even if not to the enthusiast level.

For comparison, die sizes should be corrected by node size to get potential transistor counts. Actual transistor counts would be a better measure if published, but otherwise use die area divided by node size squared. For example a 10nm production line fits 10 billion potential transistors per square mm, while a 100nm fits only 100 million per square mm. Every 10nm by 10nm spot cannot hold a transistor, just like every pixel on the screen can show our host's face, but it's still a useful way to correct for fabrication technology improvements.

The 40-series is just interesting to me. Not because it's better (it is, price aside,) but because it totally overlooks how the used market is still flooded with cheap high 30-series cards. Would I feel a difference between a 3090 and a 4090? I could contrive a scenario for that, but none of it would involve gaming, we're well past giving a damn about video playback, and honestly a lot of the stuff I'd throw a 4090 at are things I'd rather throw _someone else's_ hardware at. And VR? Yeah, 3080's great at that. I'd like VR if the games I wanted were there, but I can't say amazeballs VR performance is a big selling point either.

They must have had a very high on-wafer defect rate on the GPU chip, in excess of 40%.

RTX 4080 costs 1599€ in Finland, 4090 is mindblowing 2500€. Who is gonna buy that? They are all stocked.

@zee the median monthly average in the US is $3181. You're mostly poor with a few VERY high earners. ;)

@Rosiello only if someone can make a American salary and live in Portugal. That would be ideal.

@fdjw88 it is, and usually the cost of life is much lower in Portugal, Italy, Spain and Greece. Services, food and healthcare are dirty cheap; and usually quality consumer technology (like smartphones, appliances or TVs) is affordable as well, but there are some kinds of products that are basically out of reach for the average consumer: GPUs are the most glaring example.

@Rex Yup. It's a great concept in theory, but crumbles when it comes to products that are pretty much NONEXISTANT in your own country. No italian company makes graphic cards, therefore the whole thing doesn't protect anything, it just makes things more expensive.

Regarding the discussion on cost per die area, I know nothing about GPU die manufacture, but I do know a couple of things about CCD sensors. In that case the cost rises roughly with size squared, because the reject rate (number of flawed etchings that fail QC) goes up as well as the portion of the wafer that is consumed. This is why 4x5" digital backs are only just coming on the market in the last couple of years, after decades of trying to make them a viable product. I imagine the same scaling cost mechanisms apply to computing cores, although the reject rates may be so low that it doesn't matter in the same way. After all, there are ways to market flawed GPU dies (by locking off the bad sectors and selling them as lower-spec units), but no market for high-end photographic sensors with dead pixels.

I think it’s great that the bigger tech tubers are calling this out. It’s really frustrating that a company makes a product that has absolutely smashed the performance of the previous generation. The only thing stopping you from adopting is the price.

Thanks for the video, I was one of the people who ordered a RTX 2080 for $1200 but then cancelled because I saw the reviews and came to my senses. I bought a refurbished 1080ti for $350 and still working today. I was thinking of a new card but I will wait no rush. Nvidia is such a greedy company.
